According to industry reports, GCCs have absorbed over 15 million square feet of office space since 2022 in cities such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Delhi-NCR, and Mumbai to establish their GCCs. This upsurge in GCCs is attributed to India's cost competitiveness, availability of skilled talent, and favorable business environment.
GCCs are centralized hubs that provide critical support functions to MNCs, including IT, finance, HR, and procurement. These centres enable MNCs to streamline their operations, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. India's GCC ecosystem is expected to grow exponentially, with estimates suggesting that the country will have over 1,500 GCCs by 2025.
The growth of GCCs in India is also driving demand for commercial real estate. Cities like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Pune are witnessing a surge in demand for office space, with GCCs being a major contributor. The commercial real estate sector in India is expected to benefit from this trend, with increased demand for Grade A office space.
Several MNCs have already set up their GCCs in India, including Microsoft, Google, and Amazon. These GCCs are not only creating jobs but also contributing to the growth of the Indian economy. The Indian government has also launched several initiatives to promote the growth of GCCs, including the 'Make in India' programme and the 'Digital India' initiative.
In conclusion, the growth of GCCs in India is expected to have a positive impact on the commercial real estate sector. With India's cost competitiveness, skilled talent, and favorable business environment, the country is poised to become a hub for GCCs. As the demand for office space continues to grow, the commercial real estate sector in India is expected to benefit from this trend.
